Explanation The sensible heat generated by the total students is expressed as, Q ˙ gen,sensible = q ˙ gen,sensible × no .of students = q ˙ gen,sensible × 150 = 150 ( q ˙ gen,sensible ) (I) Here, the sensible heat generated by each student is q ˙ gen,sensible . The total sensible heat generated in the class room is expressed as, Q ˙ total,sensible = Q ˙ gen,sensible + Q ˙ lighting (II) Consider the class room as the imaginary duct and the chilled air passes through in it. The total sensible heat generated is transferred to the chilled air. And also the air flows at steady state. The mass flow rate of air ( m ˙ air ) is as follows. m ˙ 1 = m ˙ 2 = m ˙ air Write the energy rate balance equation for one inlet and one outlet system. { [ Q ˙ 1 + W ˙ 1 + m ˙ ( h 1 + V 1 2 2 + g z 1 ) ] − [ Q ˙ 2 + W ˙ 2 + m ˙ ( h 2 + V 2 2 2 + g z 2 ) ] } = Δ E ˙ system (III) Here, the rate of heat transfer is Q ˙ , the rate of work transfer is W ˙ , the enthalpy is h and the velocity is V , the gravitational acceleration is g , the elevation from the datum is z and the rate of change in net energy of the system is Δ E ˙ system ; the suffixes 1 and 2 indicates the inlet and outlet of the system. The system is at steady state. Hence, the rate of change in net energy of the system becomes zero. Δ E ˙ system = 0 Neglect the work transfer, potential and kinetic energies. The Equations (III) reduced as follows. [ Q ˙ 1 + 0 + m ˙ air ( h 1 + 0 + 0 ) ] − [ 0 + 0 + m ˙ air ( h 2 + 0 + 0 ) ] = 0 Q ˙ 1 + m ˙ air h 1 − m ˙ air h 2 = 0 Q ˙ 1 = m ˙ air ( h 2 − h 1 ) (II) The change in enthalpy ( h 2 − h 1 ) is expresses as follow. h 2 − h 1 = c p ( T 2 − T 1 ) Here, the specific heat is c p , the exit temperature is T 2 and the inlet temperature is T 1

A classroom type room with 45students taking an exam in thermodynamics is expected to release a body heat of about 8kJ/hr per person. In order to compensate this heat dissipation, an air-conditioning unit is to be installed.

A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of 5-kW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360kJ/h. There are 10 light bulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100W. The rate of heat transfer to the classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000kJ/h. If the room air is to be maintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units required.
